How much pop / energy drinks are you drinking in a day?

From Wikipedia

Overuse
In large amounts, and especially over extended periods of time, caffeine can lead to a condition known as caffeinism.[70][71] Caffeinism usually combines caffeine dependency with a wide range of unpleasant physical and mental conditions including nervousness, irritability, anxiety, tremulousness, muscle twitching (hyperreflexia), insomnia, headaches, respiratory alkalosis, and heart palpitations.[72][73] Furthermore, because caffeine increases the production of stomach acid, high usage over time can lead to peptic ulcers, erosive esophagitis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease.[74]

There are four caffeine-induced psychiatric disorders recognized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition: caffeine intoxication, caffeine-induced anxiety disorder, caffeine-induced sleep disorder, and caffeine-related disorder not otherwise specified (NOS).

Yes a 16 year old can have a stroke but that's not your problem. The numbness in the face is to do with your anxiety attacks. You may need to go see your doctor about getting some help with this. If you find yourself have an anxiety attack try and calm yourself down as the more you worry and start thinking about the bad things that maybe happening the worse it will get.

16 years olds can have strokes yes...its very rare, but i have read about it.

I shouldn't think your having one though...are you properly hydrated, make sure your well slept. Seems to me you sound exhausted. Get some biscuits and milk :P they give you loads of energy and taste great.

You should ask yourself why you get anxious and try and eliminate the factor causing it. If its possible of course..

best of luck!

Sure... But I don't think THAT's your Problem... Between your Scaring Yourself to Death & NOT eating right, it's NO Wonder you're having these problems... Try to find something OUTSIDE of Yourself to "focus" on... Life is not all about "YOU". -It's about what YOU do with IT ! :)

i think it is, you should doctor ask why?
cuz this will get worse if u dont go to see a doctor
